• Abstract: Sequential circuits provide an optimal linear-depth route to unitarily preparing long-range ordered quantum states, but circuit-level noise can be far more damaging than noise applied after preparation: local errors may be propagated by subsequent gates into nonlocal defects that destroy the target order. In this work, we present classes of unitary sequential circuits that prepare certain non-trivial orders in the presence of Pauli noise. Our constructions exploit the spatial structure of the syndromes of the target state, which in certain cases allows us to systematically suppress the propagation of errors using strictly local gates. The strategy can be applied both to symmetry-breaking order, for which we present a 3D example, and to topological order, which we showcase on a 4D version of the toric code. We also highlight how this stability against errors necessitates non-Clifford gates, and how measurement-feedback loops can be used to stabilize lower-dimensional states as well.

• Cellular automaton decoders for topological quantum codes with noisy measurements and beyond [68.8204255655161]
  We propose an error correction procedure based on a cellular automaton, the sweep rule, which is applicable to a broad range of codes beyond topological quantum codes. For simplicity, we focus on the three-dimensional (3D) toric code on the rhombic dodecahedral lattice with boundaries and prove that the resulting local decoder has a non-zero error threshold. We find that this error correction procedure is remarkably robust against measurement errors and is also essentially insensitive to the details of the lattice and noise model.

  We present a circuit design composed of a non-reciprocal device and Josephson junctions whose ground space is doubly degenerate and the ground states are approximate codewords of the Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) code. We find that the circuit is naturally protected against the common noise channels in superconducting circuits, such as charge and flux noise, implying that it can be used for passive quantum error correction.
